Drake breaks the record for most streams ever in a single month for a rapper on Spotify with 2.7 BILLION+ streams in May 2026 🔥🤯

It will be the first rap album to achieve this since October 2024., and will be Drake's longest running No. 1 album since 'Certified Lover Boy' in 2021.

President Donald Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz fired back at Jay-Z after the rapper referred to MAGA Republicans as his “opps” in a recent freestyle:
“Jay-Z says MAGA Republicans are his ‘opps’ in his latest ‘freestyle.’ He failed to mention that President Donald Trump, the leader of MAGA, pardoned his CEO, Desiree Perez. How ungrateful. The jig is really up, isn’t it, folks?”
The 56-year-old rapper is facing heavy backlash after going viral for the wrong reasons.
Jay-Z’s actions tonight should show everyone that the public’s suspicions about Roc Nation’s animosity toward Drake aren’t just a “conspiracy theory.”
All the nonsense Jay-Z said in his GQ interview about not being personally invested in the rap battle was clearly disingenuous.

Drake keeps making Billboard history. 🏆
Not only did @Drake earn his 15th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 'ICEMAN' while simultaneously holding the chart’s entire top three with 'HABIBTI' and 'MAID OF HONOUR,' he also placed 12 albums on the Billboard 200 at the same time for the first time in his career.
That achievement makes Drake the first living solo artist to chart 12 albums simultaneously on the Billboard 200 since the chart became a unified ranking in 1963.
